    184: The Most Important Goal In Your Business

    This month marks year 15 of my coaching business, and I want to celebrate it not by talking about what I've done but what's normal. Most of us who are coaches really like and want to do this work. We want to be coaching! One thing that really gets in the way of that is seeing so much puffed-up business metric marketing and other BS that makes you feel bad about why you're doing this and what you want. Those things are beautiful, relevant, and exactly right FOR YOU. Don't let other people's goals and metrics (especially for selling you something) become your goal. Take what you need and want seriously, make it happen, and leave the rest behind.

    183: [Live Coaching] "I Am Not Clear" with Missy Frisch

    In this episode, I am joined by Life and Mindset Coach for women, Missy Frisch. We coached on the thought she was having - that I bet many people can relate to - "I am not clear." The thing about these unhelpful thoughts, business blocks, and saboteurs is that they're never specific enough.They create these stuck places but have no real definition or meaning, and when we poke at them that becomes clear. Listen in as we do some live coaching and Missy shifts from "I am not clear" to "I know this person!"

    181: Breaking The Rules That Are Keeping You Stuck

    In this episode, I'm sharing about breaking the rules that are keeping you stuck (like with your email newsletter for example). As small business owners and coaches, we make up rules around so many things that don't require them. My intention with this episode is to help you think through one area of your business right now that's feeling a little sticky... What are the rules you're making up around that? Do you like them? What's possible without them? Thanks for listening! I hope this was helpful and (if it was) that you share it with a friend who could also benefit.

    179: Host Something (Make It Worth Sharing)

    "I want to see your guts in your offers." In the last episode, we discussed opt-ins, freebies, and lists. Here's why: You have to give people something to bounce off of - to get to know you and whether they want to work with you. What are you naturally good at or passionate about? How can you use that to host something people want, that is worth telling their friends about? The goal: Make something worth sharing AND share it!

    178: Opt-ins, Freebies, and Lists, Oh My!

    "You don't own the socials. You serve at the pleasure of the platforms, and they could take it all away tomorrow, without any explanation, if they wanted to." Having an opt-in or a freebie AND a newsletter list is essential. When you encounter people (online or in person), you want to be able to say, "I've thought about you, and I've created something that makes your life easier. Here it is." This is one way we stay top of mind and people can find or refer you when they want/need to. Create the thing that helps your people and keep sharing it! *The only person who's going to be excited about your business (especially in the beginning) is you. Want to do this together? Creating an opt-in or a freebie is our theme for February in my membership group for coaches on their way to consistent 5K months.
